Le Pen’s Ban Could Shake French Politics | Europe News
Description
French politics braces for a seismic shift as Marine Le Pen awaits a court verdict that could bar her from running for president—a five-year ban stemming from an embezzlement conviction. With this her fourth presidential bid, Le Pen’s potential exclusion could thrust Jordan Bardella, her party’s current leader, into the spotlight as the National Rally’s new face. The decision, expected this afternoon, could redefine the 2027 election landscape, testing whether the party can rally behind a less recognizable figure—or if Le Pen’s absence spells the end of her political reign.
